On Friday, the Wolves will cross the border to face the Flint Firebirds at 7:30pm. They are led by top prospect WILL BITTEN, who has recorded 48 points in 46 games in his second season with the organization. This game will mark the second meeting between the two teams. The Firebirds took the first meeting back in November by a final score of 2-0 victory over the Wolves.
The Wolves will wrap up the road trip on Saturday night as they visit the Saginaw Spirit. This will be the first of two games played between these teams this season. The Spirit are led by top prospect ARTEM ARTEMOV, who has scored 16 goals and 43 points this season in 48 games played.
